Murder of a Silent Executor
(2026)(The eighth book in the Lady Margot Blackwell Mystery series)
A novel by Amber Crewes
At Blackwell Manor, the truth is carefully recorded… and even more carefully buried.
When a discreet auditor arrives unannounced and begins asking very precise and highly inconvenient questions, Lady Margot Blackwell expects disruption.
She does not expect him to be found dead before tea.
With no sign of struggle and no trace of what he uncovered, one thing becomes clear. Someone is not just hiding secrets. They are protecting something worth killing for.
As whispers gather in Crayford with their usual enthusiasm and pressure arrives from quarters far too powerful to ignore, Margot must navigate a web of influence, loyalty, and quiet control. Help comes with conditions, and even polite society has sharp edges.
Fortunately, she has Inspector Simon Grant at her side.
Unfortunately, that only complicates matters.
Because the deeper Margot digs, the clearer it becomes. This is not a single crime.
It is a system.
And it has been in place far longer than she has.
Perfect for fans of clever, twist-filled British cosy mysteries, Murder of a Silent Executor delivers sharp wit, layered intrigue, and a puzzle that will keep you guessing until the final reveal.
The clues are all there. The question is whether you will see them in time.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
